"They can make better financial decisions for themselves and their families."

As part of a month-long financial literacy program organized by the CEE, 25 successful leaders and execs, including billionaire tech investor Mark Cuban, shared their best money-saving tip. The goal of the month-long social media effort was to inspire young people to start thinking about how to manage their money.

You don't have to be young to benefit from the advice, however. Here are the 25 tips:

Tip: "When you've got your eye on a splurge item, jot it down as a goal and increase the amount you set aside for savings. Check back in a few months. Still want it? Great. If not, even better! Buyer's remorse averted and healthy savings account."

4. Kelli B. Grant, consumer reporter, CNBC

Tip: "Regularly review your big expenses — like auto insurance, cell phone plans and energy bills — to make sure you are getting the best deal. You could be missing out on savings!"

5. Megan Hess, mobile editor, Bloomberg

Tip: "I invite friends over to cook dinner or for game night instead of going out and spending money."

Tip: "Make saving a part of your routine — like brushing your teeth! Put aside at least a small portion (say 10 percent) of every dollar you receive, including gifts, allowance, and money from your first job. You'll be really glad you did."
